Built in 1968 near the site where Father Marquette, an early pioneer to the area, constructed his first mission, this tower serves as an unusual tribute to the Upper Peninsula's first inhabitants. The tower climbs 210 feet into the Michigan sky, affording views of Lake Superior, Canada, and the Soo Locks, which ranks as the busiest shipping channel in the world. A roomy elevator whisks visitors to the top. So fear not, climbing is not necessary. The base of the tower houses exhibits detailing the Native Americans who once called the Upper Peninsula home. Admission: USD4 adults; USD2 kids (6-16). The place opens from Mid-May, please call ahead.
